p.1

The provision is good

Children experience a wide range of interesting learning opportunities. They confidently join in playing indoors and outside. During free playtime, they play happily alongside each other as they create 'buildings' with wooden bricks and foam. Children enjoy the company of the childminder who is alongside them as they play. He role models how to use the 'foam' to build a pretend brick wall.

p.2

The provision is good

The well-maintained areas that the children use have lots of toys and resources accessible for them to choose from. These help children to follow their own interests. Children are encouraged to make choices about what they do. For example, whether they would like to practise their cutting skills or practise counting. Outdoors, children become engrossed in their play as they make a hole with a toy digger.

p.2

The provision is good

Children follow a purposefully created daily routine. This helps them feel safe and secure in the knowledge of what will happen next. The children benefit from opportunities to share songs, stories and books, and to dance and play together. These activities support their physical and cognitive development. The children follow the adult's role models as they show respect to each other and consider each other's needs during their play.

n In partnership with his co-childminder, the childminder offers children good- quality care and education. Children are happy and safe in the childminder's care. They behave very well and do not distract one another from learning. The childminder observes how children play and joins in. He ensures that information about their development is shared with parents. The childminder ensures that policies and procedures are in place which meets the requirements of his registration. n Most of the children who attend the childminding setting speak English as an additional language. They all make progress in their speaking and listening skills and develop a good understanding of English. However, sometimes, children who need to practise their speaking skills so that they catch up with their peers do not get enough additional interaction with adults to achieve this quickly. n Children's health is well supported by the childminder. They spend lots of time

This has a positive effect on children's physical and emotional well-being. n The childminder regularly completes professional development to help develop his skills and knowledge.

25 January 2022 supports them. The childminder understands the importance of ensuring lots of physical challenges and space to help children be active when they need to. n Outside in the childminder's garden, children have plentiful opportunities to develop their balance and coordination. They use climbing frames and swings and play games with bats and balls with the childminder. Children have warm winter clothes when it is cold. The childminder helps parents to understand that children will get dirty while they play and explore. The childminder has developed covered areas so that children can play outside in all weathers. n The childminder is calm and responds to children during their play. For example, he sits in the role-play 'café' and talks to children about healthy eating. He encourages them to 'be careful because it is hot' as they use the pretend oven. However, the childminder does not consistently extend children's learning during

his interactions with them. For example, he does not regularly offer them explanations that deepen their knowledge or promote their thinking.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The childminder, co-childminder and assistant understand their responsibilities to safeguard children. The childminder has completed training to support his understanding of how to do this. He can explain the possible indicators of abuse and/or neglect. The childminder explained what procedures he would follow to safeguard a child if he had a concern about their safety and/or well-being. The childminder is aware of wider issues in safeguarding, such as those around female genital mutilation.
